Tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city stared blankly at this scene, my God, this is simply a burning city, under such a fire, it is difficult for gods to survive, let alone humans.

The fire was still burning, and the sky was billowing with smoke.

Zhao Junsheng told Chang Kun: "Take three thousand cavalry to the south gate to ambush. Once someone breaks through the south gate and evacuates, attack immediately!"

"Take orders!" Chang Kun clasped his fists and agreed, and he ordered his soldiers and horses to leave quickly.

The guard Xue Tong stood in the city and saw a huge fire burning in the direction of the city wall. His face was full of misery. Such a fire not only burned down all the defensive facilities on the city wall, but also his troops on the city wall and below the city had a total of more than 2000 people. All were buried in the sea of ​​flames, and the temperature of the scorched meat could be smelled from a long distance away, which made people sick.

Xue Tong's helmet had long since disappeared, more than half of his hair had been burned off, his cloak had been burned into rags, and several large blisters had been scalded on the back of his hands, but he had no intention of dealing with the burns right now.

There are more than 2000 people around, which are already all the defensive forces in Linzi City. A general asked: "General, what should we do now? With this situation, we absolutely can't hold on, so we should make plans early! "

Xue Tong also knew that if he stayed any longer, he would either die in battle or become a prisoner of the Gan army, but it would not be so easy to break out of the siege. Regardless of the fact that the Gan army is surrounded by three groups, there is no Gan army in the direction of the south gate, God knows if the Gan army is there. Ambushes planted in the direction of the south gate?

But it’s impossible not to withdraw now, and it’s impossible not to evacuate from the south gate. The other three gates are surrounded by heavy troops, and there is no way to break out. They can only go through the south gate.

"Command, everyone follow me to the south gate. We will break out from the south gate. From here to Dongyang City, we can reach Dongyang City in just one day. Maybe there will be someone supporting us before we reach Dongyang City!"

"Yes, General!"

The army rushed to the south gate. After half an hour, the army arrived at the south gate. Xue Tong raised his hand and stopped. He turned to the lieutenant general and said, "This general leads 200 people ahead, and you lead the army three miles behind!"

The lieutenant quickly said: "General, if you want to find the way, let my last general lead someone to find the way. The general should stay behind and lead the brigade. If the last general and two hundred soldiers are ambushed, the general will find another way to break through!"

"No, you don't have as much experience as I do. You stay to lead the brigade, and I will lead 200 people to explore the way. That's it!" Xue Tong waved behind him after speaking: "Follow me to the first building!"

Xue Tong rushed out of the south gate with 200 people. In the woods three miles away from the south gate, Chang Kun was ambushing here with [-] cavalry.

"General, look quickly, Liu Songjun really broke through from the south gate!" The deputy general pointed to Liu Songjun who was rushing from the direction of the south gate and whispered excitedly to Chang Kun, "Order, general, and delay any longer!" They ran away!"

Chang Kun thought for a while and shook his head: "No, let them pass! There must be more than this few people in the city. I suspect that their brigade is behind, and these are just scouting the way ahead!"

Not long after, I really saw nearly two thousand Liu Song troops approaching from the direction of the south gate.

The cavalry of the dry army showed excitement again. Chang Kun waited for the soldiers and horses to enter the ambush range, grabbed the long spear and shouted: "Kill——"

"kill--"

Chapter 640

Xue Tong was marching eastward quickly with 200 troops, when he suddenly felt the sound of shouting and killing coming from behind, he stopped his horse and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Kill--" If there was a shout of killing, it must be that the brigade led by the deputy general was ambushed.

The general of the army was so cunning that he didn't attack these 200 people and let them pass, but ambushed nearly 2000 people behind him!

Xue Tong's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Turn around and go back, rescue the comrades behind!"

The reins of Xue Tong's war horse were tightly held by two soldiers, and one of the soldiers persuaded loudly: "General, we can't be rescued. The army is obviously well prepared. They must have seen that we are the wayfinders, so let us go." After passing us, we only ambushed the rear brigade, if we go back now, not only will we not be able to save them, but we will also be dragged in by ourselves, the general should leave quickly, if we are caught up by the dry army soon, we will not be able to leave!"

The other soldiers also persuaded, Xue Tong's expression kept changing, and finally he sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Go, go to Dongyang City!"

When Chang Kun led the Qianjun cavalry to wipe out all the 200 Liu Song troops led by Vice General Xue Tong, when he came to pursue Xue Tong and the [-] men he led, he could not catch up, so he had to lead his troops back to Linzi City.

Before arriving in Linzi City, Chang Kun received an order to lead troops into the city to take over the city and appease the people.

The fire on the west city wall burned for a whole day and did not go out until dusk. Although the fire was extinguished, the temperature of the city wall was still very high. Zhao Junsheng and the Qianjun soldiers did not enter the city, but stayed overnight in the camp outside the city.

At night, in the commander's tent, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and the officials of the general school discussed matters while eating.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from the spies, the road surface is getting dry today. Tan Daoji led his army from Dongyang City to rescue Linzi in the morning, but encountered fleeing defenders on the way, so he withdrew back to Dongyang City on the way."

After hearing Li Bao's report, Zhao Junsheng said, "Is Tan Daoji planning to keep our army on the front line of Dongyang City?"

Dongfang Chen swallowed a mouthful of beef and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think that Tan Daoji will stick to Dongyang City. His military strength is no less than ours. Now his military strength is about [-] more than ours. He must have other considerations when returning to Dongyang City! "

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said to Li Bao: "Send elite scouts to watch every move of Tan Daoji's army, and Liu Song's army will report immediately if there is any change!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Qian army rested in Linzi City for three days, Zhao Junsheng ordered to march towards Dongyang City on the fourth day, but the weather suddenly changed, the weather that had improved suddenly turned cold and the sky became gloomy again.

Faced with this kind of weather, Zhao Junsheng did not dare to order the army to move on, and asked the soldiers to stand by in the camp.

The cold wind howled for two days and one night, and it snowed heavily the next night.

Zhao Junsheng thought this was an opportunity. In the ice and snow, the speed of the cavalry was still unmatched by the infantry, and the mobility and flexibility were also beyond the reach of the infantry. In terms of marching, the physical exertion of the infantry was far greater than that of the cavalry.

Outside the handsome tent, Zhao Junsheng stood quietly watching the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

Hua Mulan came out of the tent and put a cloak on him, "It's getting late, go to sleep early!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a long time, then turned around and followed Hua Mulan back to the camp.

Early the next morning, when the snow was still falling, Zhao Junsheng summoned the generals and officials to discuss matters.

"Everyone, which side has the advantage of Xuexue over our army or Liu Song's army?"

"My lord, our army has more cavalry, and the horses can be ridden in rotation. Naturally, our army's advantage is more obvious!" Yang Zhen, the general, stood up and said.

Zhao Junsheng looked outside the tent and said to everyone: "It seems that the snow will not stop for a while, but it will not snow for too long at this time of the year. If the snow stops before midnight today, we will break camp overnight Let's go to Dongyang City and block Tan Daoji and his [-] army under Dongyang City!"

However, Zhao Junsheng miscalculated how long the snow would last, and the snow did not stop until the next morning.

The snow was not heavy, it lasted two days a day.

Ye Ye only submerged his ankles, which did not affect the army's departure.

Zhao Junsheng left 1000 people garrisoned in Linzi City in order to transport luggage, letters and official documents in time.

Dongyang City, outside the city.

This time Tan Daoji led the Northern Expedition with too many soldiers and horses, and Dongyang City couldn't hold it at all. Most of the soldiers and horses had to camp outside the city.

A fast horse galloped into the camp and came directly to the commander's tent. Tan Daoji was dancing an iron spear in front of the commander's tent, which attracted a group of onlookers to applaud.

The knight reined in his horse and stopped outside the crowd, shouting: "Commander, there is an urgent military situation. There are more than [-] people in the army brigade heading towards Dongyang City, and they will arrive in the late afternoon at the latest!"

Tan Daoji took away the iron gun, and immediately waved to the surrounding generals: "Come in and discuss immediately!"

The generals followed Tan Daoji to the commander's account. Tan Daoji said: "The dry army is marching in this snowy day, just to bully our army. When they arrive, they will block the city!"
